Background

Our parish comprises two churches: St Paul’s and St Saviour’s with vibrant congregations and a strong commitment to children and youth ministry. We run Children’s Church during Sunday services, a monthly Messy Church, and all-age worship. Midweek, we offer a youth group, playgroup, and Saturday Football Academy, alongside seasonal programmes such as holiday clubs and creative workshops.

We maintain close links with St Saviour’s Primary School and regularly welcome families for baptisms and thanksgivings.   Overall, we have 58 children and 45 youth attending regularly to our different activities.

Everything we do is driven by our Parish aim, which is ‘in God’s strength to bring Jesus to the centre of our lives and to the heart of our community’.

Herne Hill is a multicultural, socially mixed area of South East London between Brixton, Camberwell and Dulwich. It is a fantastic place to live and work, with a great community feel and parks within easy reach, but also fast transport connections to all that London has to offer. It comprises the complementary churches of St Paul’s and St Saviour’s which have combined average Sunday congregations of approximately 250.
